With the high season for travel to Europe soon upon us, we wanted to remind travelers going to or connecting through Britain that you’re allowed only one carry-on bag. You can not have a purse, laptop bag, camera bag, or briefcase in addition, as you can in the U.S. That one bag must not exceed 56x45x25 cm (22x17x10 inches). The same 3-ounce, 1-plastic-bag rule for cosmetics/liquids as in the U.S. is in force, and your plastic baggie must be able to fit within your carry-on. (Note that you can put a purse, camera bag, or at-your-seat bag inside your carry-on, and remove it after you board.) The latest info can be found at www.dft.gov.uk under the “airport security” section.There is also a wealth of Europe travel information available at How To Travel Europe.

Disclosure:

We write this blog for fun. We offer our honest opinions and commentary about the topics we choose to discuss.

Although the world runs on “grease,” none seems to flow our direction – no free trips, no free products. We have received invitations from a couple of hotels to visit their properties, but have not yet done so. Should we ever accept any freebies, and subsequently write about that company/product/destination, we will disclose that information in our review. Our review will still carry our honest opinion – positive, negative, or neutral.

Secondly, we are not part of any affiliate marketing program. We get no compensation from referrals if we write positively about an airline (however unlikely that would be), destination, product, or service. We get no revenue from any link to any site we refer to anywhere in our writing.

Lastly, we have no control over ads that Google posts on our site. We don’t even know the content of those ads, as they change frequently and at random. To be honest, we don’t even look at what’s being advertised.
